Re: Rumour: Nintendo NX Shipping This Time Next Year, 20 Million Sales Targeted In First 12 Months

It's gonna support Android so 3rd party devs will be able port/make their games pretty quickly.
I know nintendo have said that NX won't have Android as an OS but I would take that with a pinch of salt.
The evidence is pretty compelling , they are making mobile games (Android), they are expected to release the console next year , it's gonna be fairly cheap if they want to sell 20 million consoles in a year and 3rd party devs have only a year to get their games ready which means they must be pretty familiar with the hardware already.
I'll eat my hat if the NX doesn't use Android as an OS.

Re: Tablets Stole The Wii U's Thunder, Laments Shigeru Miyamoto

The biggest mistake Nintendo made with the Wii U is the name , it's to similar to the Wii.
Mums and dads and people who aren't all that techy didn't know the difference between the Wii and the Wii U and just thought the Wii U gamepad was an accessory for the Wii.
Didn't help that both consoles look very similar.
Still love my Wii U , looking forward to Nx though.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo NX Could Use Google's Android Operating System

Could be a good idea , Nintendo are different to Ouya because they have a massive following already and have a Stella back catalogue.
Having Android as an operating system is a smart move, it will be really customised to Nintendo's needs so it won't be instantly recognisable as Android anyway but will have the benefit of having loads of 3rd party games.

Re: Reaction: The Nintendo 'NX', and Why We Think a Unified Platform is the Future

I'm all up for an all in one hybrid console along a it's really powerful, saves me having to buy 2 systems and 2 lots of the same games.
It could be that nintendo still release 2 systems one portable and one home console but both using the same OS this would be like android or ios, the home console would be more powerful and play games with graphics turned up to the max, the handheld would play the same games but with the graphics and stuff turned down a bit.
This would make sense for nintendo as they would make more money buy selling 2 lots of hardware.

Re: Michel Ancel: The Biggest Surprises Seem To Come From Nintendo

I love Nintendo consoles and have many any of their systems but why are they sitting on some of their biggest franchises , just release a new pilotwings , f-zero, starfox, wave race, metroid and watch the Wii u fly off the shelves , also port 3ds/2ds games to the Wii u they would be perfect for it , could even have a 3d option for people with 3d TV,s.
I also like Ubisoft as they seem willing to take a gamble with Nintendo and support them from the start eg red steel/ red steel 2 and zombie u hopefully they will continue releasing stuff for Wii u.
